Great project and even better tour

We visited this location spontaneously. Timing was perfect and we booked the 1 p.m. tour, incl. Mini-Volunteer part (animal feeding). Ou guide Carlos has done a great job and we felt that he loves his job

Thank Philippe W

Highlight of our trip

We volunteered for the afternoon session. We learned about all of the animals onsite and prepared their meals. Feeding the animals was of course the best part. If you are into sustainable animal activities this is the place to go. This is not a zoo,...More
